Wrap the center of each wire around a pencil, marker or other round object less than the diameter of the width of your washi tape to create petal loops.Adjust each wire loop to preferred petal shape.

Trim a piece of tape a little over twice the height of your petal loop. Place loop onto lower half of tape and fold the remaining tape over. Press together firmly. Trim corners to create petal shapes.

For leaves, repeat the petal steps using only a 3-inch section of wire without loop and trimming to leaf shape. Turn wire and repeat at the other end. Fold double leaf wire in half. Make different sizes and shapes for different color and patterned flowers.

Vary your stamens per flower style.

Fold two stamens in half and place between 5 flower petals.

Wrap petals and stamens tightly together with floral tape beginning at the base of the petals. Wrap tape around wires several times before adding leaves.

Place the folded wire leaves section against the flower stems and continue tightly wrapping with floral tape, wrapping to the end of your wires and just slightly beyond before tearing off the end of the tape to finish.

Separate and bend flower petals and leaves to desired shapes.

Adhere washi tape flowers to hair accessories, wrap stems with ribbon or contrasting washi tape and pin as buttoniers, or add blossoms to gift packaging. I gathered three flowers together and tucked them into my silver basket vase pin.

Just so pretty! You always share such wonderful ideas with us Cathe and these are perfectly lovely. Definitely want to try them – and I love your little basket brooch. I’ll be looking out for one of those!

I have yet to ever try Washi Tape. Looks like I need to go for it and make some of these adorable flowers. Can think of many ways to use them and would be such a relaxing craft to make. Thanks Cathe!
You are such a great inspiration to all of us.

Congratulations, Cathe
Love the pattern for the washi flowers. I work as an activity aide in a nursing home and can’t wait to make these with the residents.
Will look forward to you new videos.
Thanks, Pam

I love your Washi Tape flowers! I really intend to make some. My Grandmother used to make wax roses from paraffin and I have fond memories of her displaying them around her home. Your cute little flowers brought back fond memories of those times. Thank you for the inspiration. Wanda
